Official Car Thread :: Vol 2 :: Now with More Bikes!

I also forgot that I really liked the Lancer, which is also in the same price range. I'm a huge fan of how it looks. Though I have to admit I'm surprised with myself, the idea of only having 2 doors sounds horrible.. but I'm finding myself thinking that Coups just look so much better than Sedans. Which is one of the reasons I want the G5 is I really like how it looks.

Not many reviews out on the 2009 models, so I'm hoping that they're close enough to the 2008 models that it doesn't really matter.

And yes I meant the tC you asshole :P

just don't buy this thing

The Scion TC is also another choice but I'm not too fond of 2 doors. Thats the only thing thats holding me back. Price is in my price range and I can have that saved up easily by end of year? The Camry will run me $25-30k and I should have that saved up by June 2009 of my bday.

For $25K-30K, you could get a sweet Honda. An Accord even. I wouldn't waste that much money on a "hooked-up" Scion TC - waste of good money imo. I'm the Honda pusher here, so take it for what's its worth, but please don't waste $25K on a Scion, you'll regret it.

I love Honda too. In fact, my 2 car purchases are both H (Accord/Odyssey).

Ugh the Honda Fit sounds like a fantastic car... but it's so boring looking and ugly. I hate the way it looks :(

Yeah, it's not aesthetically pleasing, but I'll bet it gets great gas mileage. If you're waiting, you could get the '09 Corolla Sport when it comes out later this year. It's sporty and it's a Corolla, so you'll get the best of both worlds.

Hondas are the shit. My first car was a hand-me-down Accord with 220K miles on it. It died with 290K. I love my Civic Si. It's so much fun to drive and gets great mileage.

Unfortunately I cannot wait much longer for a car. Here's my list of issues on my dieing car:

double oil leak: $1.2k
Windshield Wiper Blade: $12
Front Tires Completely Bald: I don't know how much tires would cost but the car doesn't have much time left
My gas Mileage has dropped by about 6 miles per gallon, not a good sign for the engine.
Spedometer at a slight bump will go fucking nuts, very annoying.
Extremely annoying noises made by the car when starting and driving, think like a high pitched machine gun.
The front window leaks and let's air into the car, as well as the softtop cover.
Back window is broken (That's my fault >.>).

The car has to go.

I may just be misreading you, but I'll point out anyway that the Lancer (even the Evo) is available only as a sedan, not a coupe.

It's so ugly. Do they make the GXP without the garish grill and rice-shaming wing?

Yeah I know but the rest of the car I like the look on it enough to overlook the fact it's a Sedan. The back and front I'm being super picky about, and I don't even know why. I've driven a tracker for so god damned long why should I care about how my car looks, but I does lol!

Also in addition to car payments, the insurance would be in my name

If I were to get the G5, so I'm basing around that. Ugh so a car is gonna be like almost $500 a month? That sucks so fucking much.

That sucks. Well, it does seem like you're in a pickle. Go with a car that is going to make you happy. This is a big purchase, so you might as well get something you'll enjoy driving. You could always go the "pre-owned" route which, from what I hear, can be a good deal if you get it from the right dealership. Do you have CarMax where you live? They've got pretty good deals on nice pre-owned (used) cars.
